Poeta de guàrdia

For some time now, the British public health system has been prescribing culture. And surely there is nothing more therapeutic and intimate than a voice in our ear. The  healing capacity of art combined with the intimacy of a nearby voice is the basis of Poeta de guàrdia, a project created in full lockdown in Paris by the Théâtre de la Ville and adapted to our emotional and poetic needs by a quartet of Catalan poets: Maria Cabrera, Andreu Gomila, Josep Pedrals and Martí Sales. How does it work? Ask for an appointment and you’ll have ten minutes to listen to a poem recited by an actor or actress and then have a brief conversation about the verses you’ve heard. By appointment only.
